It must be the weather this year Suzanne that is turning out the most brillant fall colours. I was going to take a photo of our front yard colour yesterday as they were so beautiful. I have noticed before but not quite as eye-catching as this year. Yours is a stunner. XO

That is a beautiful notion for the day, Suzanne. You definitely have good bones, girl!! I need to go for a walk today and breathe deeply and take in autumn and reflect. I don't do it often enough in the busy-ness of life.

Today's post is like honey for the soul! It pours off the page rich and sweet and makes you think of how blessed you really are! Thank you for your words, your thoughts, your wisdom! Your style of writing is inspiring! Have a Blessed day!Biz

What a tree! When I see the empty trees of winter I often remind myself they are recharging. It's a good reminder to do the same for ourselves. Like Stitchfork, the old and young bones together made me smile :)

i cling to hope we find in nature that SEASONS CHANGE. that this one will pass and then something NEW. and even more than maples, we have opportunities for hydration, healing and help during a dry season.

Hi Suzanne, I am on vacation and visiting my middle daughter in Boston, so I have had a little more time to visit my favorite blogs. I love this post, you really have a poets soul! Maybe when I'm back in California next week I will be able to join you around the water cooler. Have a wonderful week my friend!

Oh goodness, Suzanne...what a perfectly perfect post...love how you likened the trees to our very selves...I will think of this whenever I see the good bones of a tree this winter...thank-you, dear friend.

Sadly, we don't get the color here in California that you do in your neck of the woods! I really miss that, having grown up in Ohio...oh, well...there are other blessings here!

you weave a beautiful tale girlie..how is it our minds even think such things?do everyone's?ah well,I love it that ours does don't you?I will take my good bones over a full head of leaves anyday.Sending you happy thoughts this Fridayxo

We had an Autumn Blaze at our previous house in the US -it was a show stopper!! My favorite tree in England is the Beech - not for its color (yellow), but how its leaves pool at the bottom of its majestic grey trunks. Congrats on winning the paint from Sarah - how exciting! XOL

a thought provoking post. such truth in your words...No matter what beauty and polish and glitter we "put on" on the outside...It is what is on the inside, I too, am convinced... that defines life... OVERpowers all the exteriorlovliness. Were it not for that inner sap running beneath that bark...those leaves would not display such beauty. Your tree is GORGEOUS. One thing I have noticed about our Indian Hills area. The Trees are absolutely breathtaking. Cedar Rapids is lovely. Thank you for another post that goes right to the heart of Life...You are GOOD! Gonna write that book soon? Can I get an autographed copy!!!!!???????? Hugs for a beautiful weekend. xo

So beautifully put by a truly beautiful soul! I know that at the end of my life, all of the things I have been through will show on my trunk and branches and I hope that someone can still see some kind of grace there to love.

I love Autumn Blaze. They are so lovely. My sister has a row of ten in her pasture. LOVE seeing them in the Fall when they put on their show.sending hugs...
